EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
A Comparative Study of Integrated (Computer
Based---Multimedia system) and Standalone System of
learning in Educational Programs with regard to
understanding of English language
1 | P a g e

Introduction
The essence of Literateness or Learning programs deals with the overall enhancement in nature
and the voyage of progression over a student’s natural life. Being learned take in the capability to
undertake a comprehensive assortment of educational choices, in fairly a great deal of designs
and infinite sorts of circumstances. The present research refers to documentation, comparison
and harmonizing clarifications of the “educational platforms” originated on stand-alone
structures and integrated Computer Based---Multimedia system) scholastic
procedures. The platforms include the combination of exposition through writing, reading,
listening and observing in addition to critical values over examination of communication
strategies of studying (Aghaei et al. 2012). Reviewing the guidelines involved for the practicality
and value added informative technology in basic teaching space reflects wider sequence of
accepting the principles as well as thoughts.
Research Background
Training primary generation of students to contribute enthusiastically in the societal events
transversely over the “knowledge economy” substantiates dynamic aspects of personal and
national achievement. It is predisposed to the aptitude to interconnect, speak and compose the
exercises based on the subjects well-meaningly; other than the dissemination of superiority
teachings and information by mentors who have technologically advanced, throughout their pre-
service teaching insight, and work-related specialized knowledge. Demonstration of training
performances is operational to assume the variable learning requirements for the different
children (Lorenz, 2012). The diverse resources of interactive material will confidently impact on
knowledge. It discloses the adjustment that transpires in the method, not the standard, of handing
out evidence that controls learning principles. This as well essentially challenges the researchers
to disclose any unparalleled gains to teaching that might meet the expense over mass media
presentations.
Predominant Contemporary issue

The examination of learning methodologies and performances may be eventually measured over
the software packages to upsurge the expertise of linguistics. The graphical
presentation of diverse platforms of values consist of the solicitation of operational
presentations of the packages at any stage of life and practices of images, endless videos, tables
and charts, framework of training provisions over “audio-visual heads-up” that measures the
instructional capabilities with the knowledge of the stuff. It discloses the association of the
educators with learning scores in agreement with the national groundwork of informative
strategies in Australia (Berk, 2013). However, the investigation of supreme educational
researchers recognized that there persisted inadequate statistics manageable to confirm the
widespread support of informative tools inside the training space, principally when challenged
by the overpriced expenses which may be related through these resources. As per this
distinguished resilience, the researchers linked with diverse informative organizations went
through empirical review of the practice of technological apparatuses to maintain learning and
teaching processes in prominent mark (Bulotsky-Shearer, Dominguez & Bell, 2012).
Integrated technique (High-tech Method) with link to inquiry
focused learning practice
Some educators evaluated that the striking landscapes of the databases related to the high-
tech interface along with online apparatuses have additional impact in predicting
perfections in reading skills than the training of the subject-matter for the students with learning
incapacities. This expressed that the apprehensions workably had ‘‘less significant control to
establish the packaging of indicators with judgment, and the demand of resources is
unquestionably more authoritative”. The theoretical direction regarding the practice of
instructive equipment as well as the study-resources in the coaching space occupies somewhere
at the in-between stage of this assortment (Mazenod, 2013). For persons or scholars with smaller
audible range or else vision deficits, the three R’s of teaching typically needs additional
provision like “Braille books other than rings of hearing range” Specifically, one can depend on
the estimation that “instructive tools and the supplies based on technical
clarification keep on promising to develop the learning circumstances for
3 | P a g e

children; since, the modified learning events, superb materials on top of resources of
instruction, lengthways with the design of responsiveness aimed at the content, principles, and
experiences denote varied contributions or disciplines”. There exists a modification within
“computer-assisted coaching and combined learning arrangements” as frequently emphasized in
vigorous and progressive sessions of computer skill (Berk, 2013). Basically, the inconsistency
can be almost refined for the players of computer-aided instruction. The premeditated computer
platform with limited apparatuses plus possessions can be exploited with improvement or else
remediation headed for stand-alone, in addition to integrated learning process as related with
core set of courses. This can be employed in performance with the instructional scheduling
method of inquiry founded learning practice. To position with excellence, the teachers support
the restoration of computer associated instruction as well as integrated learning package in
diffusing the resources and essential information on measured focuses originated on preceding
lessons (Clay, 2010).
Digital possessions and examination of teaching and learning tactics
The training of computers within the coaching space has revolved out to persist as
shared preparation, normally with a vital expectation that the scholars’ knowledge can enlarge
either over “skill – based teaching” founded on exercises, or applying the inquiry centered
learning method through a productive tutorial room. This empowers the learners to be capable
of their specific development and consequently edification gets strengthened notwithstanding of
the indispensable theoretical orientation. In accordance to Głowacki &Jackson (2014), the
technique of integrated education efficaciously applying computer focused
learning possessions have requirement of delivering cooperative learning procedures
correlated to the schoolroom innovations to the learners. These need to be predetermined to keep
on manageable if the child desires that additional facility, trend, or program on the way to
promote the classroom training to be further communicative. By the aim of supporting the
beginners to build and transform the talents or competences, it is predictable that workstations
persistently act to motivate emotional harmonization headed for acquiring knowledge from the
instructive content (Lorenz, 2012). In wide-ranging evaluations of the physical effects of
apparatuses of high-tech support on alertness of learning, the leading concern insistently
4 | P a g e

specifies substandard production This articulates in expressions of realistic consideration
authenticating the resources of technology, exhausting the component of study in practical scope,
for example, hypermedia as well as communicating programs for youngsters providing
educational influences credibly than research originated values. Irrespective of the insufficient
study, the assessments have discovered that computer-aided training can support word
recognition in addition to understanding for learners with irrelevant and unassertive
susceptibilities also. The interlocking software program using cinematographic support of
thoughtful teaching strategies exhibit the potentialities in building elementary knowledge skill
with assurance for youngsters at diverse levels (McCabe, 2012).
In the independent process of standalone preparation, students are revitalized to respond in
distinctive procedures headed for specific subject matter as well as training strategies. The trainer
requires establishing rigorous stages of enhancement other than choosing a configuration of
measures those efforts to reflect greatest operative strategies in developing the youngster’s
awareness. This highlights the standard of piloted program and groundbreaking knowledge. An
unremitting method of training drives to confirm innovative evidence in conjunction with the
abilities centered on a strategic preparation, often beginning with demonstration, performance or
else projected by the teacher. The lessons normally continue to single or group work and
periodically end with all-inclusive class assessment (Weideman, 2012). An inductive structure
marks to encourage an observation or preparation through a premeditated set of absorbed paces,
where beginners collect in addition to choose evidence, then learn the facts and generate
categorizations and harvest and experimentation with proposals. An investigative technique of
teaching other than learning determines to work out and increase capabilities and receptiveness
over the beginners --- challenging opportunities or possibilities and determining what
confirmation to gather, and then accumulating and probing it (Seely Flint, Kitson. & Lowe,
2014).
Instruction Strategies with special orientation to integrated
(computerized) pattern of writing
The interactive determination grows due to the inspiration and encouragement of the educators
who are associated with the training devices with moral and understandable approaches to
5 | P a g e

promote the aptitude of the present generation. Educators agree on a plan to their teaching
methods legally responsible for the setting in which they remain competent, and encompasses
appropriate environment concerning the students and the state of affairs involving a specific
time, as fixed break of day, or else the “period of year” (Nilsen, 2014). Teachings of the lesson
or prior connection of the class-discussion alongside specific circumstances may similarly
demand permanent pedagogic approaches. There are moderately mesmerizing and rational
events of satisfying the formative years stuck on the methodical groundwork of education.
The digital link built on software creation of devices and methods have shaped the entering of
awareness and perceptions that exemplifies the sensitive values of language (Plaisance &
Reydon, 2012) This would enlarge the abilities of learning over independent efforts of
identifying the words and subsequently, inspiring the categorizations of mastery as well as
responsiveness. The teachers consistently need to endorse the technique of writing performances
and strengthen the knowledge of the construction of speech and tone while setting genuinely the
written phenomena with the syllables over perfect connotation of the phonemes. The
accreditation of accurate breaking of the sound of syllables engages the recognized approaches
of relationships with the exposition of combination of consonants and vowels with the
articulation of words or catchphrases as well as sentences (www.phonicsinternational.com,
2019). The scholars must study the uncompromising words which are unconditionally functional
in the implementation with asymmetrical application in constructions like “said”, “saw” and all
that.
Significance of the integrated (Computerized) Study
Learning and teaching potentials depend on “written abilities of linguistic, features decidedly on
the competence to read identify and exercise written expressions across the aptitude to write
properly”. The stuff as well as the presentation of this research points to two governing pitches:
 First, knowledgeable and cultured young publics are Australia’s maximum precious
resource designed for the approaching era.
 Next, teachers are the highest valuable resources available to organizations (Alea.edu.au,
2019).

Preparing new populaces to engage efficiently in the realization of budget as well as in humanity
somewhat for all intents and purposes stands vigorous on the system to entirely unequivocal on
top of “national capital”. This correspondingly remains predisposed by the ability to direct, read
and write meritoriously; excluding the background of notable groundwork of instruction. The
process of training is compliant with the teachers who confirm the expansion of understanding,
throughout their knowledge as pre-service educationalist, and workwise dedicated and attentive,
with evidence-centered teaching performances that continue to be functioning in meeting the
necessities of intelligible learning of every distinct child (McCabe, 2012).
The investigation performed by the activities of upliftment of educational activities articulates
appropriate procedures of hypothetical stages to understand the predominant concerns of
educational presentations in diverse instructional grounds in the communities. Though, the
consequence of the knowledge linked to the principles and ideologies of “Evidence Centered
Literacy as well as Numeracy Framework” are determined over the appropriate explanation of
the suggestions that stands on the arithmetic and academic choice of all-embracing
situations of noticeable state of activities leading in unique segments of the organized
method of digital system of learning The sections of secondary and primary departments
of the anticipated developments portray the present events of schooling and responsive
mechanism to retain the aptitudes of motivation of literateness (Dempster, 2012). The
examination designates the positive and sociability values of lower, middle and newfangled
children in the course of ten long years.
Learning as well as teaching linguistic skills in standalone technique climaxes on:
“Written vocabularies of philological features,
Ability to express,
Differentiate as well as practice the exact structures, encircling the competence to pool the
written as well as verbalized form accurately”.
The objects of this theme as well the methods heading toward the credentials of underpinning of
knowledge stand in dualistic observing solicitations. Primarily, well-informed and talented
young personage is the country’s eventually the valuable resources of particular effects for the
7 | P a g e

upcoming era. Consequently, teachers are the uppermost treasured possessions familiar to get to
the establishments (Alea.edu.au, 2019).
Rettberg (2014) exposed that the educational possessions comprise accrued measures of tangible
arrays of specific interpretations besides the interacting technology that elucidate the insights of
learning preparations of cooperating events. This grips the hypothetical context of
multimedia as self-motivated apparatuses of progressive findings.
The enhanced services of operating fundamental system over the amalgamation
of hardware plus software drivers promise the browsing of the societal sites,
assigning and receiving correspondences, uploading as well as transporting of
audio-visual forms from mobile phone as well as operative structure of different
types of social media through YouTube besides, Facebook, Twitter or else Linked
In, etc. (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Yet, the undesirable drive of cognitive features
disheartens the inner competences. There ought not to ascend any assessment along with
conflicting approaches among the behavioral performance of diverse classes of persons that
interrupts the “knowledgeable innermost self”.
Big Write as well as VCOP (“Vocabulary with Connectives over Openers, and Punctuation”)
characterizes a standalone phase unquestionably concentrated on emerging talents of writing
aimed at all groups of scholars. It triggers originally with verbal language and forms on writing.
It plans the implementation that "once the scholars cannot prompt it, they remain powerless to
write ". Beginning from the expressed philological expansion children are habituated to sporting
actions and competitions and the preparation of outlines involves as well as accentuates crucial
knowledge with encouraging solutions from the teacher (Aghaei, Lie, & Noor, 2012). Play can
enlarge the kid’s perspective and care for the purposes to categorize other than knowledge. The
abilities of writing as well as reading can endure enthusiastic appeals regulated for understanding
over play (Plaisance & Reydon, 2012). Child’s apprehension in the actions discloses by what
methods play inspires to fundamentally relishing the essence of living. The preparation of
playoffs stands leading to the philosophy of “Big Write along with VCOP”. This play activated
technique place itself as a functioning preparation to recover self-confidence, commitment on top
8 | P a g e

of philological topographies in background. Setting up is presumed in the strategies of
demonstration, discussion and open ended questionings (Bulotsky, Dominguez & Bell, 2012).
This maintains rational judgments, and stands equipped with a certain learning assortment as the
initiative, for illustration, “vocabulary extension”. Assertiveness is enfolded in the sentence: I
accomplish, we accomplish and, you accomplish". Interactive form of writing is accordingly a
training method that is engaged in “Big Write package”, wherever the beginners are energetically
associated in the knowledge process. The explanations pose for a supportive setting wherein the
youngster might “test questions, clear up difficulties and comprehend severe attitudes. The
teacher devises the strategy admirably in the best interests of kid’s current and potential
knowledge. The indication allows categorizing how the learner familiarizes to the environments
and promoting in documentations. This reproduces structures to integrate and formulate the
youngster’s executing actions as well as benefits (Nilsen, 2014). The instructor realizes how the
youngster interrelates with new children and teachers. This evaluates the capability of
groundwork of teaching strategy.
Language is vibrant over originality to continue with clarification of the well-balanced
competences and distinguish the world adjoining the youngster. The student attains philological
abilities within communal instructive background which perseveres as sympathetic
understanding to the technique of achievement of information. There are natural abilities within
the intelligence that provoke to form to accomplish a distinguishing character to direct
whatsoever the youngster cultivates (Chen, 2014).
Analysis of the Research
Comparative positions of Standalone and integrated
(computerized) system
In accordance to the viewpoint of Głowacki & Jackson (2014), the self-confidence and
expectancy that the entities have been chasing and utilizing the realities of diverse disciplines of
existence, excitingly depend on the framework they incline to put on the cognizance in precise
domain. The concepts and values of human actualities also fluctuate with reference to the
physical, communal, environmental and rational layouts of each sort of individuals. The fast
9 | P a g e

drive of ICT expressed a gap amid the creation of data over information
processing technique and exercise of evidences through the end-users. Nolan &
Raban (2015) stated that the documented gap is engaged by human performance in dismissing
the space between the fashioned particulars and indication treated. The handling of information
positions in the entireness of human actions with connection to the fundamentals and systems of
flow of data, including the chasing and plan of evidence in relations of both self-motivated and
submissive confirmation (Rachman,, 2015). discoursed that the salutation of “social information
as well as presentation is an integrated movement at abundant levels of “data processing
besides arrangement of facts”.
In the standalone organization, coaching sophistications can encompass leading and
demonstrating from the communicating session in training space, or supposing an additional
student centered practice everywhere the teacher formulates the outline wherein the supporters
struggle and then encourages them to generate their decisions with optimistic direction. Whether
a teacher envisages her/himself as dynamic associate of the group where the comprehensive
evaluation is refreshed; prefers to stay profusely in control and express the learners what to find
out; or ‘efforts by the movement” authorizing each class to drive onward in its precise technique,
is completely the extent of teaching style (Toloie et al. 2011). Furthermore, the teacher’s mood
as well as concentrations of dynamism can remain the self-motivated components that might
modify meaningfully the appropriateness and competence of any unambiguous flair. Active
educators remain fervent and, flexible on top of disciplined attitude. They interrelate with the
students as in what way to learn, ensure exactness of strength of mind and of explanation and
healthy knowledge of subject. They congruently have innumerable anticipations and wisdom of
entertainment and comedy (Dempster, 2012).
Conclusion
The investigational arrangement pinnacles the teaching aptitudes, learning purposes, thoughtful
and decent principles to evaluate the patterns of operative talents while connecting with the
students. The visualizations and schemes of artistic and instructive preparation of uncomplaining
the physical performances of cognizance and humanizing the youngsters grow further than the
10 | P a g e

informed preambles of learning actions. The talents and enactment of the teachers point as
outstandingly recommendable consistent for fitting the potential scholars

Summary
In accordance with the opinions of Tsuji et al. (2014), the working appeal of learning highpoints
the records and packages of conjoining the level for functioning and beneficial links with diverse
personalities to illustrate the appropriate messages and evidence about the materials of the
physical stuffs. It transports genuine, communal and all-inclusive demonstration of organizations
to enhance the expectedness of determinations to sketch the conducts of the scholars. However,
Schlesinger & Murray (2012) discussed that the consistent delivery of events and incomes
empower the people to crop up with outstanding mindfulness and interest to accomplish the
material of the characteristics of moralities rooted in the official papers of the subjects
interconnected to the specialists in assorted gradations of exhibition (Wicks, 2014).
The meta-analysis of detecting diverse wide-ranging teachings engrossed on
Computer supported directives of teaching in miscellaneous countries is
reinforced by “integrated learning system”. The overall significance agrees with distinct
language of the prearranged general population and introductory conversions amongst the ranges
of examination accounting for considerable modification in the results (Plaisance & Reydon,
2012). This entails that no specific preparation or content discrepancies shaped substantial
modifications in the exercise with consequence in levels or prospects. Observing the influence of
computers on understanding for children with distinct requirements (e.g., learning debilitated or
susceptible) recognized that understanding of subjects occurs usually in support of technology,
though, that incomparable and notable issue in this technique was value-added motivation
intended at the educational actions conveyed by infrastructural setups of interaction
(Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2009).
